Five on Friday

Oh yeah, hey.

It's me.

 What a freakin week it has been.

I don't know what the heck happened to me, but I have been completely. and utterly. exhausted. 

So needless to say - thank goodness it's Friday.

Today, I'm linking up with Christina and the regular Five on Friday ladies.

one.

Ashley got me two tickets to the Georgia Bridal Show in Athens for my birthday, and it's on Sunday! I've only been to one bridal show since we've been engaged, so I guess one more couldn't hurt before I get married. Got to enjoy this engagement process while it lasts because the days are dwindling down. I'll be crossing my fingers for a free honeymoon. :)

two.

My classroom was almost set on fire. by accident.

Thanks to my PENCIL SHARPENER.

As I'm helping students across the classroom, FIREWORKS started going off from under my desk. POW. KABOOM. FLASH.

Ok. Maybe not fireworks. But with 23 kids screaming, sparks flying in the air, a few flashes and with a couple cracks of electricity - it may as well been fireworks.

My poor little student, somehow managed to drop my pencil sharpener on the floor [why it was being picked up, lord only knows], halfway snapping the cord, exposing wires and allowing electricity to free flow from the wires.

So now, I'm sharpener less. Smelling a little crispy. And was probably the highlight of dinnertime conversation that night at all my students' houses. 

BEST TEACHER EVER.

three. 

Ok, so.

Cake tasting last Sunday. 

Went into the appointment still not having an idea of what I really wanted.

But decided on a mixture of three out of the four cakes above.

I like traditional wedding cakes, so I decided to stick with an all white cake.

But I chose not to go with the fondant icing. Our venue is very rustic, so I thought the traditional butter cream like cake number one would be perfect. With the amount of people invited to our wedding, it'll only be three tiers like cake number two, with the twine/raffia ribbon wrapped around the bottom and top tier. But those pretty little sugar flowers on cake number two & three. Yeah...those cost an extra $500 to make. No no. We're going with the real flowers like cake number four. In our wedding colors, of course. 

So hopefully it turns out good. I know it'll taste good, but look good? Hopefully. I have a hard time finalizing decisions in my head when I don't have a clear vision. And I don't have a clear vision of what our cake will look like. I'm just going to trust this lady I guess.

four.

I sucked it up as a future wife this week and made the WORST DINNER EVER.

Maybe I'm just an idiot, but I somehow screwed this recipe up.

It may have been the extra rice I added, that overcooked and turned to mush.

Yes, that was definitely it.

So if you feel ambitious, or if you're just more intelligent than me. Or if you actually just follow the directions to the recipe instead of trying to be Giada DeLaurentis on the Food Network, then you may be more successful than me.

It probably is good, but I WOULDN'T KNOW. 

Recipe found here.

 

five. 

My poor little Nannie has been a frequent visitor at the emergency room this week.

She got bit by her dog trying to get a pill out of her mouth (or she thought she had a pill in there at least) and her dog didn't like that, obviously. The dog doesn't have a mean bone in her body, she was just freaked out. But it caused Nannie to get an infection in the puncture wound. Unfortunately, her hand was swollen so much, they had to cut off her wedding ring.

We're hoping and praying she'll get better as soon as possible. :)

Y'all have a good weekend!

Hopefully it's a three day weekend like mine ;)

Don't hate.
